(Lovers in Bloom)
(Episode 41)
Who is this woman?
You have a delivery, Chairman.
Do you have something to say?
No, I don't.
- What? - Just leave!
Did you see the security man on your way here?
It's someone...
you'd be very happy to see.
Do you have someone following me around?
Cha Sang Chul.
Did you hire him on purpose?
What did you just say?
Why didn't you just have us meet together?
You're right.
Cha Sang Chul is my ex-husband.
We parted ways almost 20 years ago,
but I still recognize him right away.
You won't even deny it.
- Why would I? - Why?
How could you say that after lying to me?
I've never lied to you.
This is disappointing.
I didn't know you'd do this behind my back.
What?
What is it? You didn't even call.
You don't answer when I call.
When should we ride bikes with Woo Ri? On your next day off?
No, you really don't have to do that.
I keep my promises.
We're not going to date and I have no intention to.
You shouldn't make Woo Ri promises...
or meet her.
Why not?
I know how you and I both feel.
You're right. I like you.
So what?
Are you going to marry me?
Moo Goong Hwa.
Did you just want to date?
I got ahead of myself.
Fine, let's just date then.
I'm not even 30 yet...
and dating you is no big deal.
Is that what you wanted me to say?
- Moo Goong Hwa. - I'll tell you one more time.
I don't have time to date.
I'm Woo Ri's mom.
She's waiting, so I should go.
Do you think I'm joking with you?
Listen to me.
I'm not joking around with you.
Where did the confident and surprisingly courageous person go?
This has nothing to do with confidence.
I told you.
I don't want to burden you.
It's more like responsibility...
than a burden.
That's the same thing.
It's just a different expression.
You're right, I was surprised...
when I found out you were married and have a child.
Maybe I was inattentive,
but I had no idea.
I was so surprised I didn't know how to treat you.
So, I gave it a lot of thought and held myself back.
I'm sure you noticed.
However,
you win, Goong Hwa.
Did you think I didn't think it over before telling you how I feel?
You still don't know me.
If not,
are you just trying to confirm your rejection?
Mr. Cha.
So,
don't mercilessly shoot me in the same place again.
Okay?
You should get going. Woo Ri must be waiting.
It's no use looking at me like that as if you want to hold onto me.
You ruined our date today.
Woo Ri said a police officer was here.
Is it the one that was yelling at you in the street last time?
Yes, that's him.
What brings him here?
He had a question for me about a report.
He could've waited until you were at work.
He was asked to hand it in quickly.
I'm thinking of making bibim noodles.
That sounds good. Add a lot of yeolmu kimchi.
- Where's Woo Ri? - In the room.
I'm so sleepy.
I'll take a nap with Woo Ri before going to work.
Okay.
The princess...
- What are you doing? - woke up...
from her sleep.
I don't know...
Are you mad at me, Woo Ri?
He said he'd play with me...
and buy me something delicious.
He's too busy.
I'll play with you instead.
You must like playing with him better than playing with me.
I like playing with you more than anything in the world.
I like playing with you the best.
But I like him too.
Mom, I want to ride bikes with him. Please?
Mom.
Hello.
Is this Cha Sang Chul's phone?
I'm the person whose money Gyung Ah ran away with.
Where are you?
I'll go to you.
It'll be hard to find anything in Seoul with 3000 dollars.
What about Seongnam?
I told you to keep that money in case of emergency.
Where are you going to sleep?
I'll get a job that provides a room and meals.
Why would you spend a lot of money...
on monthly rent? It's a waste of money.
I said I'll take care of monthly rent.
Did your boss go somewhere?
He's working.
Did he step out because of me?
I told you not to worry because it's not like that?
Why would you yell at me?
It's not like that.
I'll go to the convenience store.
Bo Ra, did you just arrive?
Yes. Hi.
Bo Ra. Did you have a fight with Su Hyuk, by any chance?
You don't call us over lately, and he doesn't talk about you.
You're right. We had a fight.
Why? What's there to fight over?
Ask Su Hyuk.
What's this?
- I received your 20,000 dollars. - What?
Oh Gyung Ah's boyfriend or whoever he is...
said he would repay her debt,
so I called him. He really repaid her debt.
- Is that true? - Yes, it's true.
What does he do?
How could he repay as much as 40,000 dollars for her?
I have no idea.
I thought he was a rich old man, but he wasn't.
I saw his business card. He's working at a security company.
However, he asked me not to tell Oh Gyung Ah...
that he repaid her debt.
Why?
I guess he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.
He looked like a very nice person.
- What a shame. - My goodness.
What are you talking about?
I wish you had met a man like him.
You're prettier than Oh Gyung Ah.
You're also smart and a great cook.
- I really wish you were... - Stop. You're not even my friend.
When you saw the bankbook, you shot lasers out of your eyes.
My gosh. Seriously.
I'm sorry.
That's why...
I brought you the best anchovies.
Do you think this can make up for me?
It was possible to get this money back because it was me.
You could never have done it.
How stupid are you to give her back the money she repaid you?
As if you don't need that money.
I know.
Why didn't you ask Hee Jin do that?
I shouldn't just pass time all day.
My body will rot when I die anyway.
Aren't you hot?
I came out here to get fresh air.
The breeze is nice out here. I feel better here.
I'll steam pumpkin leaves. Try them with soybean paste sauce.
- It'll increase your appetite. - Yes, Mom.
It's very tasty.
Why are you standing there? Go in and wash up.
Mom, in fact,
I found her.
Do whatever you like.
Pardon?
I said to do whatever you like.
Just as you said, you're old enough to make decisions.
Why would you ask for my permission for everything?
Thank you, Mom.
I'm sorry too.
When your child is grown,
you become a burden to him.
I forgot that again.
I'm not better than this old cucumber. Goodness.
- Are you leaving now? - Yes.
- Did Soo Ja leave? - Yes, she did.
What's the matter?
Soo Ja brought me the money.
What money?
- My 20,000 dollars. - What are you talking about...
Did Ju Young's mom gave her that?
No. It was the man who left with her...
that Su Hyuk told us about. He repaid the money.
The man who left with her?
- Is that true? - Yes.
He met Soo Ja alone,
gave her 40,000 dollars including my money,
and asked her not to tell Ju Young's mom.
- He did? - I don't know what to do.
Shouldn't I tell Ju Young's mom?
It's a lot of money.
I got the money, but I'm still worried.
- See you later. - See you.
Officer Moo!
Shall we spar first?
However you attack me, I'm ready for it.
I never spar with a coward.
Loving you makes me a coward?
I went there because I missed you.
I already told you that I'm in unrequited love.
Everyone has rights to love whomever they want. Aren't I right?
Deal with it yourself.
Even so, you shouldn't use any sly tactic like that.
Thanks to my sly tactic,
you came to see me.
I don't think that would make you that angry.
I'm warning you. Never come to my substation again.
That's my workplace.
Officer Moo. No. Ms. Moo.
Do you really want me to be sick of you?
If you keep going like this, I think I'll be.
I already have hard times because of mean drunk men.
So please stop when you're still bearably uncomfortable.
I'm asking you nicely.
Unless you want to give me a hard time, never visit me like that.
I'm bearably uncomfortable?
I guess it's not that I mean nothing to you. Am I right?
I bother you, right?
I drive you crazy, right?
I'm not allowed to visit her at the substation,
and she'll come to this gym with that jerk. Gosh.
It's me.
Look into an address for me.
Officer Moo Goong Hwa at Chamsu-ri Substation. Yes.
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
What are you doing out here?
The breeze is nice.
Sit with me for a while.
Take your time.
I'll go in first.
Get some fresh air.
Has your leg gotten any better?
Well... Yes, it's almost completely healed.
I can just have my stitches taken out.
How did the matter of your dad go?
It's complicated.
I hope things will go well for him.
It might take a long time,
but I'm sure things will go well.
Once my dad makes a decision, he never changes his mind.
I take after my dad.
It's already time because you picked on me.
I didn't.
It was almost the time to start working.
Since you didn't do as I said, I'll be harsh on you today.
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
Did you have something today?
Not today, but tomorrow.
I'm thinking of going on a date after work.
Do you have a boyfriend?
I'm going to find one before fall.
I'm going to start my WAC plan today.
What plan?
WAC.
Winning over Arrogant Cha Tae Jin.
- What? - Did you hear...
what his sister said that day?
Well, yes. I did.
My woman's instinct tells me that he's interested in me too,
but he hasn't made a move, and I didn't know why.
But after talking to his sister, I figured out why.
What do you mean?
He's the eldest grandson of the head family.
It was because of that burden.
How could they have 13 memorial services a year?
I felt suffocated when I heard that.
Who would want to marry him?
So, what are you going to do?
I'm going to tell him how I feel.
Tell him?
It's so sad if he loses the woman he loves...
for that reason.
I wonder if I'll be moved somewhere else is we end up dating.
- This is a secret, okay? - Okay.
What's this smell?
I don't know.
All right. Here you go.
That smells nice and delicious.
I was thinking why he was so quiet, but he's at it again.
Won't people complain if the substation smells like food?
I'm worried they'll want to join us when they smell it.
Let's start with our youngest.
I eat skate, but not cheonggukjang.
You know I'm on a diet, right?
I'll make my rounds.
- Let's go Officer Choi. - Okay.
See you later.
Gosh, they have no idea.
You can't find this kind of cheonggukjang anywhere.
It smells different.
- Where did you get it? - My mom made it herself.
You should get married,
not worry your mother.
Forget it.
After retirement, I'm going to move back to my hometown...
by the beach and fish and enjoy life by myself.
I'll find you a part-time job there when I move back.
Why would I work with you even after retirement?
Wait, let me try this.
It's delicious.
Thank you.
Officer Moo, why are you standing there?
Have a seat.
- Do you want something else? - No.
What is with you today?
You usually are the most excited about food.
That's right. This is weird.
- Are you sick? - No, I'm not.
I love cheonggukjang.
- It's good right? - It is.
Why aren't you eating it when you love it?
Learn from him how he treats his subordinates.
Why would I?
- We're seeing each other often. - Yes.
I know I'm not welcomed, but you don't have to make it obvious.
What brings you here?
I was just passing by.
From now on,
don't come even if you're passing by.
- Bo Ra. - Dad wants me to date you,
but I have no intention of doing so.
So don't come.
I didn't know you could be mean...
and say hurtful things.
It was you, wasn't it?
Did you tell Do Hyun about him?
I thought he should know.
Do you think he didn't know who you are?
- Jae Hee. - You're too naive.
I suddenly feel very apologetic toward him.
I'm sorry he has to hear that from you.
Look,
he's much more innocent than I am.
I think you've forgotten what that feels like.
Chairman Jin won't ever approve of him.
- I know. - But you still don't care?
My goodness.
My back hurts.
I'm up to my neck in work these days.
You're going to get sick.
We should find a part-timer.
Where will we get the money to do that?
I'm annoyed we can't send Hae Chan to the English camp with everyone.
What do you mean everyone? 7000 dollars is a lot of money.
Just wait and watch. I'll raise Hae Chan well...
even if I have to kill myself.
Go easy on yourself. You're taking hyperthyroidism medicine.
- Hypothyroidism. - What?
I said it's hypothyroidism.
Well...
It has to do with your thyroids!
Why does he have his door locked?
Kang Hae Chan, Kang Hae Chan.
Open the door.
What were you doing?
What do you think? I was studying.
Why did you lock the door?
Because you burst into my room whenever you want to.
Are you sure you're not guilty of something?
Can you leave? You're bothering me.
Why you...
Come on.
- How dare he... - No, stop.
- He'll blow up if you push it. - What?
Boys go down the wrong path once they take the wrong turn.
They push forward even though they know there's a cliff ahead.
So leave him alone.
I heard from other mom's today that once they start locking doors,
they don't even come out later.
He'll end up a socially withdrawn loner.
Don't worry. Hae Chan won't.
He's just going through a rebellious stage.
It's my son Kang Hae Chan.
He can control it.
Hae Chan is nothing like Tae Jin.
He's just like me when I was a teenager.
Wait, this isn't something to laugh about.
I just wanted her to be alive.
I wished to see her just once.
That's what I used to wish for.
I feel uncomfortable with you acting like this.
What did I do?
When we were eating...
Isn't that something I should do for my partner?
I draw a line between public and private matters.
Don't overreact.
It's yours, isn't it?
No, it isn't.
You're the only one who is clumsy enough to drop it.
Do you remember what Woo Ri said?
You bet this on me handing in a resignation...
within six months.
The six months are almost up.
Do you still think I'll hand in my resignation?
You said you take after your father, right?
I'm just like my mom.
Once my mom rejects something, she never changes her mind.
I understand. Let's see who wins.
Lift up your head.
I wish we met a few days after that happened.
I don't think a few days would've changed anything.
Why did you came at that moment?
You're always like that.
What do you mean?
You saw me at the sauna too.
You saw me every time I was chased by someone.
If you have any problems,
I'd like to help you.
Please pretend you don't know anything.
Ju Young and I will take care of everything.
If you even help me with my problems,
I won't be able to see you again.
Okay. I won't say that again.
By the way, I told my mom.
About what?
That I found you.
Why are you sighing?
Why wouldn't I? Think about the situation I'm in now.
What if I let you down again while living with you?
You're worried for nothing.
You've become a coward.
You used to be cheery and lively.
I don't even remember that I was.
However, was his name Ju Young?
I think I should meet your son.
He might be mean to you.
Of course, he will be.
He must feel like I'm taking you away from him.
I'm nervous.
Even if he doesn't like me,
I hope he doesn't hate me.
What did Tae Jin say?
He told me to do whatever I want.
He's always been so quiet. I was surprised.
He takes after you in many ways.
He's much better than me. He's handsome too.
What's wrong about your face?
You look so manly and cool.
I thought I could never see you again.
I can't believe that we meet again.
I guess this is why people say that life is good.
Where is this woman at such a late hour? What on earth is she doing?
You're making me feel dizzy.
Maybe because I worked out too hard, I'm already feeling dizzy.
She'll come home when it's time.
It's not like she's a little child.
Stop poking your nose into my business and go to sleep!
I was just going to drink some water and go back to my room.
That little brat.
Are you going out of control or what?
Why are you ignoring me?
Let's end things between us.
(Lovers in Bloom)
Where's the other one?
Why did this fall out of your apron?
Are you suspecting me?
I'm think of bringing her home.
That soon?
I lived with you for 17 years just for this?
Stop your nonsense!
Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?
I think I was confused when you said you were going to meet the lawyer.
I've changed my mind.
- When will I meet the policeman? - What?
Have you ever played "The Rose of Sharon Has Bloomed"?
I'll be it.
You just come to me step by step.
